The shortfall that occurred in the WHEG–UW grant, WHEG-Technical Colleges grant and Tuition Grant has been solved. The WHEG-Technical College and Tuition grant shortfalls were addressed in a 13.10 session held on Tuesday, July 19th. The Joint Committee of Finance approved the request and we are waiting for processing to occur through the Dept of Administration. Once that process is complete Barb will be letting you know that the transactions have been loaded to your folder on our secure site. The WHEG UW shortfall was taken care of at the beginning of June and you should all have your disbursements and funding. Thank you so much for all of your patience during this process.

We've had processing problems with the notification list since the run on June 29th. The problems that we have identified include: covenant scholars and foundation codes switched, missing TYPE filed, badly formatted number fields. The problems have been corrected and the files have been recreated from June 29th and replaced in your secure folders. The files from the notification run on July 6th and July 12th have also been corrected. Please let us know if you encounter any further issues, we appreciate your feedback!
